He is very tall, and because of his martial arts practice for many years, he has a tiger's back and a beehive waist, which is very agile and powerful. However, I don't know if it is because the light on this mountain road is too dark, or because he has just given up on the territory he has managed for a long time, and looking at his slowly leaving back, he feels tired.

I thought about it and suddenly said, "Shen Xiaokun."

He turned his head and looked at me: "What's the matter?"

The young face was still stained with some smoke and dust, and it looked a little embarrassed and tired. I said to him seriously: "Thank you."

Thank you for not taking grudges, thank you for not making things difficult for my daughter, thank you for letting me go.

He seemed a little surprised when he heard my thanks. He turned around to look at me, and the expression between his eyebrows became solemn. After a while of silence, he slowly said, "Yue Qingying, although I am not interested in your affairs, I am a man named Mu Lezi--but I am still successful."

I was stunned.

He looked at me again, frowned, as if he was not used to saying these words, and seemed a little irritable, so he turned around and left, holding the hilt of the knife in one hand and carrying it on his shoulder, and waved his other hand to me behind him, signaling goodbye.

I stood there, looking at his back as he was leaving, and I couldn't come back to my senses for a moment.

I don’t know how long it took, until his back could no longer be seen, that I slowly turned around and walked towards the way I came.

I don’t know if it was because I finally relaxed because of too much nervousness just now, and my whole body felt a little loose. As I walked, my legs were a little soft. Suddenly I heard the whistling wind above my head. I felt as if people were about to fall down, so I hurriedly reached out to support the mountain wall.

The rough rocks suddenly slashed through the palm of my palm, which made me feel a little more awake in the sting. As soon as I looked up, I saw many people rushing up from all around.

This is--

"Madam Qingying!"

"lady!"

The messy sound made me a little confused again. I frowned slightly, and my hands slipped, and my whole body staggered forward.

I fell into a warm and strong chest.

Pei Yuanxiu's face was not too ugly, but he was very nervous. I could even see a lot of tiny sweat on his forehead. When he looked at me and hugged me with both hands, he felt a kind of lucky loss of an extremely precious treasure. He carefully held my back: "Qingying, how are you doing, Qingying?"

I was stunned for a while before slowly saying, "I'm fine."

"Has he hurt you?!"

"No."

“Not hurt?”

"I don't."

I shook my head, my voice was as thin as a fucking thread. Pei Yuanxiu looked at me nervously: "Then why are you--"

I knew he was asking why I was so embarrassed now. Actually, I didn’t know it myself, so I just reluctantly said, “I feel a little uncomfortable.”

When he heard this, he stopped talking, and he picked me up with force with his hand. The people behind him immediately followed him. Someone carefully said, "Young Master, do you still want to chase me-"

When I heard this, my heart moved again, and subconsciously grabbed his sleeves. Pei Yuanxiu looked down at me and said calmly: "It's good that Qingying is safe, let's go back first."

"yes."

At this time, I was really relieved and was held by him and walked back on the narrow and rugged mountain road. This road was not easy to walk, and it was a bit difficult to walk alone. He was still holding me, but he always hugged me and did not let go. I lay in his arms, looking at the sunlight leaking between the towering mountain walls above my head in a daze, shaking in front of me.

Such dazzling light made my eyes hurt. After a while, tears filled my eyes. At this time, we finally walked out of the narrow mountain road, and the noisy people around us were even louder, but Pei Yuanxiu always held me and did not let go at all, and took me away from Wohu Village.

Just as we walked out of that mountain gate, the dazzling sunshine in front of me was covered by a haze.

I was still a little confused, until a tear fell from the corner of my eyes and my vision finally became clear. Then I realized that it was not haze, but thick black smoke, as if a black dragon rose from the valley ahead, and soon it filled most of the sky, covering the sun.

It was Wohu Village, Wohu Village was burned.

In fact, this was an inevitable result. I was not surprised. I just watched the towering fire slowly burning. Pei Yuanxiu hugged me tightly in his arms. I felt his hot breathing and the thick smoke in front of me covering the sky, giving people the illusion of suffocation.

Looking at the burning fireworks, my vision blurred.

In a trance, it seemed as if he saw a familiar figure standing in the flames. The hot temperature of the fire blurred his outline. He turned his head and looked at me, and the high-length behind his head also rose, as if a rising flame.

Light... cold...

.

I was not in a coma, but I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't wake up. However, Pei Yuanxiu hugged me tightly and left Wohu Village. Later, I got on the carriage and drove slowly all the way, and I still felt it.

I could even feel that in order to make me feel more comfortable, he hugged me tightly and wrapped his hands around me, as if he was holding a fragile treasure. If he was not careful, he would be damaged. Because of him, I did not endure it along the way.

But I still remember Li'er in my heart.

Where is she? Has she been protected by someone, and has she been frightened by the previous incidents?

"Li'er... Where is Li'er...Li'er?"

Hearing my uneasy whisper, the man under him raised his head slightly, his lips pressed against my ears, and said softly: "Qingying?"

"Li'er..."

"Lie'er is here."

"Li'er..."

"Li'er is safe, I have sent someone to send her back first. We are on the way and we will meet soon. Don't worry."

She's fine, it's fine...

A faint smile appeared on my face, and I finally felt relieved. I felt a strong hand holding my hand hanging on the side and put it on my chest. The temperature in his palm kept ironing my skin, even slightly hot.

"Don't worry, I'm by your side."

This sentence kept ringing from my ears to my dream. It was a dream in a trance, but it seemed not a dream. I couldn't tell it clearly. I just knew that Li'er was fine, so I really felt at ease and fell asleep peacefully in his arms.

.

I woke up and slept many times along the way, as if the long road had no end. Finally, when I woke up in a nightmare, I saw the dazzling sunshine in front of me. In the light, I leaned over and looked at me with curved eyes.

I was still a little overwhelmed, but I heard Pei Yuanxiu's voice laughing with a smile: "Don't sleep. I'm home."

“Have you arrived home?”

I blinked my eyes, and this time I woke up. The carriage had really stopped. The hurried voices of the servants came from outside. I suddenly felt something warm and slightly undulating was pressing against my back. When I looked back, I realized that I had been sleeping in his arms.

He was suddenly panicked and hurriedly wanted to support himself, but he grabbed my hand and said softly: "I look so anxious and dizzy, take my time."

He did not force me to keep me, so I would be a little better. I just thought that I had been lying in his arms for a long time, but my face turned red after not knowing how long. I didn't dare to look up at his eyes, just nodded, and sat up silently with his hands, and then he helped him get off the carriage.

This is already his mansion in Jiangnan.

As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw that there were people standing around. The guards and servants had already surrounded me. Several maids immediately walked up to support me and said carefully: "Madam, are you okay?"

lady……

I was stunned for a moment. I remember that before, they all called me Mrs. Qingying, why did they call me Mrs. Qingying now?

I looked back at Pei Yuanxiu who had just jumped out of the carriage in confusion. He didn't say anything, but just smiled at me and looked behind me.

When I turned around, I found the gate of the house, Li'er stood there and looked at us.

She had already put on a new moon-white shirt, with her hair still combed with a pair of buns and pink silk ribbons wrapped around her. This outfit made her look pink and beautiful, so beautiful that I couldn't open my eyes.

Behind her were two women standing.

Han Zitong and Han Ruoshi.

This is really a pair of twin sisters. Both of them are picturesque. Guose Tianxiang stands together like this, and it feels like a flower reflecting on the water. However, compared to Han Zitong, who has a somewhat cold and hard expression, Han Ruoshi is obviously a lovely flower. Her face is still a little pale. She holds Li'er's little hand with one hand, and clenchs her fist with the other hand and coughs softly, then says softly: "Li'er, look, isn't my dad back?"

As she said that, she raised her head again and smiled at me.

I suddenly understood.

I told her before that I hope she can help me keep it a secret and not let Li'er know that I am her mother. But I think over the years, Pei Yuanxiu must have told Li'er that her mother was Qingying. If those servants still talked about Mrs. Qingying, they would definitely get it immediately.

Fortunately, she helped me.

Thinking of this, I also raised my head and smiled gratefully at her through the white gauze on the hat.

As soon as Li'er saw us, she immediately burst into surprise and smiled: "Dad, you are back!"

"Well, Dad is back."

"What about my mother?"

Pei Yuanxiu was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at me immediately, and I hurriedly shook my head gently at him.

“…”

Although he was still unclear, he did not speak rashly, but Li'er couldn't wait to look at him with a small face: "Where is my mother? Didn't you say my mother is here? Where is her?"

For a moment, no one spoke.
